I'm Brandon Bange — owner of Bange Dirt Co.
Brandon Bange, owner. I come out and look at every job myself.
No crew chief, no "we'll get to you next week" that turns into six weeks of nothing. You call, somebody answers — day or night — and I show up when I say I will. That's the whole pitch.
I grew up on a small farm outside Lincoln County. Most of my friends did too — so from the time I was a kid, I was on a tractor cutting hay or discing ground. I didn't know it then, but I was already in love with it. The equipment, the feel of working land, the way things look different when you're done.
After high school I went to college for a year. Figured out fast it wasn't the life for me. So I hit the road and went to work — real work, in the field. Construction. That's where it clicked. Sixteen years learning the trade from the ground up: how to read a site, how to run a machine properly, how to do the job right instead of just fast.
In 2025, after months of praying about it, I stepped out in faith and started Bange Dirt Co. That's where "God Guides, We Grade" comes from — it wasn't just a name I came up with. It's a declaration. I started this company because I want to do more than move dirt. I want to do good work for good people, be honest about what a job takes, and somewhere in the middle of all of it — share what drives me.
Why "God Guides, We Grade."
My faith isn't a marketing line — it's how I was raised to work. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." (Colossians 3:23.) That's the bar. It means I treat your property like the work matters, because to me it does. God guides the land; I just help you grade it so it works the way you need it to.
As a husband, father, and business owner, my faith shapes how I run things. The company runs on one simple idea — "God Guides, We Grade." Integrity, hard work, and treating people the way you'd want to be treated.
God's first in my life — everything else is built on that. After Him, my drive comes straight from home: my wife of seven years, Allie, and our three kids, Rylann, Scarlett, and Owen. They're the reason I do the job right and keep my word. When I come bid your property, I treat it the same way I'd want somebody to treat my own family's place — honest about what it needs, careful with your money, and built to hold up for years. The values we live by at home are the same ones I bring to your dirt.
I'm not here to preach at you from a job site. I'm here to fix your drainage and build your driveway right. But if you were wondering where the name comes from — that's it.
What I do — and what I leave to others
I do residential dirt work for homeowners across Lincoln, Pike, Warren, and the surrounding Missouri counties — out to the towns just over the St. Charles County line: concrete tear-out and removal, yard grading, French drains, land clearing, forestry mulching, driveway and pad prep, erosion control, culvert installation, and trenching.
Truth is, I don't just move dirt — I solve property problems. You're not buying a load of rock; you're buying drainage that works, usable land, a solid place to build, access that holds up, and the peace of mind that it got done right the first time.
What I don't do: pour the concrete myself, do your landscaping, or take on commercial site work and civil demo. But when old concrete has to come out, I tear it out, haul it off, prep the base, and through a premium partnership with Schultz Concrete I coordinate the new pour — so you make one call instead of juggling three contractors. I'll never pitch you a job you didn't ask about. Family-owned and operated, plain and simple.
Homeowners, landowners, farmers, businesses — if you've got a property problem, I can help you solve it.
What neighbors say
Real reviews from real neighbors are on the way.
I post them with a first name and a town as folks send them in — I don't run made-up quotes. Want to be the first? Book a bid and I'll earn it.
Want me to come look at your job?
Tell me what's going on. I'll come out, give you a straight bid — usually this week — and the work usually follows in the next two-to-three.
